I met Debbi at a celebration of her son Clay (my son-in-law) and my daughter’s wedding announcement. I love Rose Marie’s comment about her big beautiful eyes.  They were beautiful and the soul behind them was so precious.   When I met Debbi I immediately loved her; she was so easy to love, and she genuinely loved my daughter Austin. 

I didn’t live near you Debbi so I didn’t get to visit with you but I loved following you and seeing your Facebook posts.  I will see you in heaven when I get there and we’ll have eternity to spend time together face to face. 

My husband, his friend and I owned a submarine sandwich shop, Sub City. Soon after we opened we placed a help wanted ad. Debbi, then Reece, came in one day to apply. She was tall, pretty, with big brown eyes and brown hair. She lived nearby and was eager to work. We hired her on the spot. It was a decision that not only gave us a superior worker but gave me a dear, lifelong friend and a nephew, Tony. 

I will miss Debbi but I am comforted by the fact she had a strong faith in God and is now home and at peace, free from the trials of this world. Rest easy my friend.
